I thought it would be fun to share our thoughts on random things.
Here's the first question - would you rather drive or fly somewhere that is more than a days drive away?
I prefer to drive but mostly because my husband does all the driving and I get to see all the wonderful things out the window! |

| I think drive. That way you can see new country and stop and get out to look around. Kind of hard to do that on a flight :). Brad always drives, too. He says my driving is too scary for him to fall asleep….whatever! |

| I like to drive too as you can see more of our beautiful countryside. Tom does all the driving too. I have not driven in many years myself but I do have a current drivers license. And that’s a story for another day:-) |
Big Hugs,
Debbie

| Good question Heather. I would definitely rather drive, I love to explore! I dream of a cross-country trip to see it all. Like Debbie K’s husband, Bentley won’t even let me drive the three hours back to NC. He tried it once and said he can’t sleep or relax, he would rather be the one driving. So flying may be in my future, if that’s the only way to make it happen. |

As a kid, I vividly remember storming off a plane huffing, "I will never fly again!" The plane had been delayed, ran out of snacks, and I am [still] insufferable when hangry. Little did I know my dad would get a job with the same airline and share his flight privileges with his adult kids to allow us to meet up regularly even though we live on opposite coasts. So these days, I would rather fly than figure out how to clear the calendar thoroughly enough to allow us to make the drive. Besides, how would we drive to places like Europe or Hawaii?
That said, it would be so cool to see the world by train (Transiberian rail), by foot (Pacific Crest Trail), or by bike (Portland, OR - Portland, ME/ Race Across America). |

Chris - I would LOVE to do the transiberian rail one day! I also think hiking the Appalachian trail would fun.
You made me laugh Karen! It's OK to like them both.
I'm guessing most of us will feel the same about this one but I'm going to ask anyway - would you rather read the book or watch the movie?
I like a good movie, but I'd rather read the book any day! |

| Umm, that one is hard as I love movies. But, I really love reading books so I will go with reading a book. |

Read the book! And then maybe watch the movie? For example…Gone With the Wind. There was so much in the book that wasn’t in the movie but the visuals in the movie were great.
Speaking of the Appalachian Trail and books…there is a wonderful book about an older woman who walked the trail alone! Grandma Gatewood’s Walk. She was an inspiring and gutsy lady. |

| Read a book for me. My TBR pile is always high, but it gives me something to look forward to. Debbie I will be looking for that book. Sounds like a good one. |

Books! Adding Grandma Gatewood to the teetering TBR stack-- AT looks like an awesome excursion too, Heather and I should plan some madcap adventures...
Does anyone do/prefer audiobooks? I find this format even harder to enjoy than movies, but some swear by them. |

A fun fact about me…I’m not really a movie person! :)
I’m gonna look at my library for the book, Debbie K! Thanks! :) |

| I don't mind audiobooks depending on what it is about but mostly the ones I listen to are Father Gilbert mysteries and Dr. Who. I think they are shows though and not books. I prefer to hold a book than to listen to someone else. I depends on what I am doing. |

This is a never ending party so join in whenever you get a chance LOL!
I think I might like an audio book if I was on a long trip, but they're not something I've really tried.
Next question - would you rather go to outer space in a spaceship or go underwater in a submarine? I find them both terrifying and would rather not do either one of them LOL! If I HAD to pick one I think it would be the submarine. |

| I'm thinking NEITHER! I would be freaked out. A submarine sounds claustrophobic and the idea of floating around in space...eh...I don't think so! |

I have been in a submarine when we went to Hawaii about 15 years ago. It was amazing to see all the fish, Coral and other fabulous ocean things.
So I guess I would like to go up in a spaceship. What an amazing adventure that would be! |
